THE SALEMITE
FROSH EDGE OUT SENIORS IN CHAMPIONSHIP;
SENIORS AND SOPHS HGHT FOR CONSOATION
March 26, 1943.
Tlie Fresliman-Junior game Tues
day afternoon was by far the best
game of-the entire basketball tour
nament. It was the play off of the
championship since both teams had
each won two games.
The fact that the game started
off with fouls is indicative of the
entire match. Aside from the
roughness, there was expert passing
and beautiful shooting by each
team. T?ie Seniors, especially, were
surprising for the great improve
ment in their team-play. Everyone
expected the Freshmen to swamp
them; but, not only did they hold
the Freshman score down, but they
also gave them a good scare by
keeping the score tied 7-7 at the’
half and by leading 13-9 at the end
of the third quarter.
The first half proved to be a
game between the guards with both
sides doing exceptionally good de
fensive work. Butner, Sands, and
Avera held the Freshmen as no oth
er guards have been able to do;
and Sullivan, Griffin and Eifkin all
gave an excellent account of them
selves.
The second half began with the
Juniors hitting their stride in a big
way, and their success in piling
up a lead so disconcerted the Fresh
men that they were not able to
click until the fourth quarter. Then
it was Lois Wooten who finally
brought them to their feet by mak
ing eight points during that quar
ter. Achsah Sliore made a beauti-

Since , the war began, it is the
mailboy and not the varsity athlete
who is the most popular figure on
the college campus, according to a
survey conducted by the Ilolead
Westminster college “All-Ameri

stand the poorest chances of get
ting mail on Saturdays and Thurs
days.
If it is a package or a laundry kit

likely to get it on Thursday, and
has the least chance on Thursdays,

ton tossed one in oi'er her head to
end the scoring for the Freshmen.
Xewton was the only Junior able
to make a goal during the fourth
quarter, and the Freshmen won the
'rame 21-15
Although the Sophomores and
Seniors have been defeated, ycster
day renewed their fighting spirit
After many attempts at scoring, a
foul shot by McKenzie gave the
Seniors a one point lead. Flhna-
gan came back with pass to t?ny-
der, who scored the first two points
for the Sophomores. The ball was
again in Senior territory, when
Carter received a long pass and
shot a basket—giving the Seniors
a 3 to 2 lead. The greatest part
of the game was fought at the
Sophomore’s end, wher^e the guards
held the forwards down to five
baskets. The first quarter ended
with two successive baskets by Flan
agan; although Cocoa came through
with a basket tossed over her
guard’s head, the score was 5 to
10 in favor of the Sophomores.
The Sophomores held the lead
throughout the second quarter with
two baskets by Stu, one by Joy,
and one by Stovall. Ceil came in
for \anderbilt and, with height and
impressive fighting spirit, helped
keep the ball in Senior territory.
Tlie first half ended by a long un
successful shot by Stovall. The
score 17 to 5 favoring the Sopho
mores.
Three substitutes in the third
quarter did not alter the success of
the Sophomores. Denning replaced
Mary Ellen Byrd, wlio replaced
Stovall at forward, and Vanderbilt
replaced Wliittier for the S-eniors.
The Sophs were off to a good start

with a goal made by Byrd. Close
guarding by Seniors as well as Soph
omores was evident throughout the
second half. Wooten, Baynes, and
Denning played exceptionally well
and held the Seniors down to two
baskets and a free shot. The Soph
omores were able to score only once
during this quarter, proving that
the Senior guards were really there
fighting. The score at the fourth
quarter was 19-10 in, favor of the
oophomores.
Stu immediately picked up more
points for the Sophomores by a
short shot at the beginning of the
fourth quarter. A beautiful shot
by Stovall from the far corner of
the court added two more points.
This was followed by another of
Cocoa s overhead shots which again
set the ball rolling for the Seniors.
After much passing ,md several un
successful shots, the game ended in
a free shot scored by Flanagan.
leam-work was prevalent through
out the game on both sides, but the
Sojihomores beat their ‘ ‘ superiors’ ’
by scoring 24 points to the Senior’s

And on that very day, Oswald
jumped out of a stupor, vowed to
pay the queen a visit, clicked his an

a single drop of lighte!r fluid in the

courageous decision to go on the

Having no money, Oswald had to
pawn his pretty little orange tin
lunch box in order to get rid of
Tipweetumwoe.
When Oswald got his first copy
of Gory's Horror Stories he sank
down firmly on the radiator cap and
stayed engrossed from cover to
cover . . . and on the very last
page, he spied and Atlas ad. It
then occurred to Oswald to take
stock of himself. He looked at his
drab pale fuzz and at his dingy
chipped toe-nails . . . and Oswald
realized that he simply warn’t fit
ting’ to present himself before the
prgeous queen. S'o he enrolled
immediately for an Atlas corres
pondence course ... he too could
develop his muscles, expand his
chest, rcfcapture the sheen of his
lucious purple toe-nails, and stim

plumes.
For two years, Oswald took his

ligious fervor he chinned himself
every one of the seven hundred and
thirty days, and bent over fifty
times every one of the seven hun
dred and thirty nights. At last, he
let out a Tarzan yelp and swung
down the cob-webs to Eoach-haven.
He was so proudly puffed up as

before his folk that nobody had the
heart to tell him how he really look

little Oswald playing Johnny Weis

his condition, Oswald prepared anew
to visit the queen. He took on new
vigor as he buffed his purple toe

out of hock and packed it full of '
Pepsies. There would be no more
booze for Oswald. He was going
to see the queen and he refused to
offend her with alchoholic breath.
And onoe again Oswald set out.
Climbing into the ventilation
system, he bid his family and
friends adieu. They had given'"h'im
all sorts of bon voyage tokens and
he was swelled with joy ... so
swelled, in fact, that he decided
why should he, prince among cock
roaches, sneak about in back aUeys.
He wouldn’t. He’d take the main
route to the royal bed-chamber.
Having made his decision, he leaped
into the water works and began to
wend his way.
It Was a hot^and tiresome jour-
iiey, but Oswald finally made it.

drain, he expected that his little
old heart would jump right out into

his eyes, counted his pulse, and
strode through the enterance of the

Today Oswald rules happily over
his kingdom in the castle cellar.
No longer must he pine away for
a glimpse of the chic queen Belle.
He has taken to wife a charming
vivacious beetle with shiny silver
scales. He has begot a horde of
little beetle-roaches whom he does
dearly lov«. In his heart of hearts,
Oswald may resent the queen a
bit for shattering his illusions. But
he teaches his brats to respect old
Belle . . . for, after all, even if she
isn't really glamorous; she’s a
right good old gal and she provides
Oswald with the greatest domain
in all Iceland.
